This was the heartwarming message from a successful commercial farmer and businessman, Janus Oosthuizen from Delmas, about his genuine willingness to assist and mentor startup farmers.

Janus was a speaker at our recent African Farming farmers’ day at the Vleissentraal Auction Centre in Ermelo, Mpumalanga. More than 100 farmers from provinces including Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng and Free State attended the event.

With the help of his son, Joshua, Janus is committed to guiding upcoming farmers step by step, ensuring they grow and succeed in their farming journey. He literally offered to hold their hands through the process. What a remarkable gesture of support.

Janus even shared his personal contact details, making himself readily available to the farmers who attended the workshop. What an incredible show of commitment!

By taking on such a huge responsibility, Janus and Joshua are poised to make a meaningful impact in rural villages, empowering the next generation of farmers. They are true game changers!
